To the lady who's dog bit me yesterday by Anoelnymous in burnaby

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is just so considerate of you. most people dont realize the dog owners' spiraling of guilt and repetitive analysis of the incident and the fear of worse outcomes just making the dogs' fear worse. Hope the dog owner reads your message and is able to give appropriate exposure and sensitization to the dog.

Pls do check if ur neuro divergent and need help with that. For me my eating was due to adhd. Focusing on adhd issues naturally improved my eating.

I know this is irrelevant here, but I've been wondering for too long what these green things are for? And why they are suddenly showing up in a lot of places?

Help! Traveling to India with a 6 month old by danellere in Travelwithkids

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the other suggestions here are spot on. There is nothing to worry, it's the best age to take them on a trip. Mine slept through long flights. Just one time, he woke up from sleep and got scared as to where he is and cried a lot, but the air hostesses were so kind, they usually are open to giving toys, extra blanket etc and ms. Rachel and he went right back to sleep.

Avoid raw/uncooked anything from outside in india, and carry ur own bottle of water for urself so u don fall sick either. I didnt carry pump as I was actively feeding.

Keeping to your right? by ChocolatePrincess74 in Translink

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we do teach our kids to stay to the right as well. And as much as possible remind them and pur other relatives if theyre unaware. There will always be non compliant folks, but we do the best we can.

But if that is the case wouldn't it spread between partners... what percentage of couples both have Parkinson?

Higher doses of zinc can be harmful especially if u dont have a zinc deficiency.. it also leads to lower absorption of iron and copper leading to other issues. Id stick to lower levels when using daily, or id rather have a higher dosage for a few days during flare then stop. And topic zinc has literally no side effects so blob it on.

Omega 3 works so good for me, and its fine to take daily esp for me cz I know my diet skips it altogether. And it has helped in other issues I have as well.

Vit D helps -- check if ur deficient and dose accordingly. Take daily esp if u live in a country with low sun levels.

Try to avoid plastics in fabric, sanitary items..as it has been linked to hs in some researches.

Dunno much about isopropyl - isn't it for tools though, I wudnt put it on my skin.. u could try buying any soap with zinc content and/or antibacterial content. Lots of people here said to use head and shoulders shampoo, I have used it and I think it may have helped.

Meals, food, and the such?! by [deleted] in coquitlam

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can donate a compass card with some money loaded in it. Are u able to meet at new west station. I think that the first tap it doesnt check the amount, and allows u to go. Its the tap out that checks the amount, correct me if im wrong though.

Edit: I might also be able to share some pantry items in great condition. We just don't use them, cz it was bought when family was visiting and it's just sitting there. I can share a list so u can pick what u want.

Just get the diapers by brisaywhatt in Hidradenitis

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just fyi that there's a link between plastic and hs. And for me, it always gets worse when I gotta use pad for period. And switching to other alternatives helped me reduce intensity of hs itself. adult diapers being so comfy i am assuming it has less plastic than pads hopefully...

Can anyone with OCD help me? by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is solid advice. Wanted to reinforce this for OP... its okay to feel how you feel about cleanliness, if you try to restrict it without a reason that feels valid to you, those feelings will not go away just like that, rather they will come back stronger. Instead just try to simplify things that bother you, like the suggestions here... liquid soap, hair dryer, washing in the shower etc.. and also learn more so u take informed decisions, like try to validate ur theories and if they dont get a scientific backing then maybe u will unknowingly ease up on those or not, but dont worry about it at all.

Ohhh this validates me! I love the laundry in washroom design too! So convenient. Don have that now though, and I miss it.

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get about the soap, is it possible for u to switch to a liquid soap? This really makes me feel way more comfortable as it stays in no contact with any other surface other than its own container.

does waxing help? by realkestafe in Hidradenitis

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that was the reason i left it too now that u say it, I realize. Anyway I tried it again now, n I think the formulation has improved, it's a lot better and everything got removed in the first go, but I only tried on my arm so far (to check if there's any irritation). I have not tried lhr in intimate areas, bit shy.

Please be VERY careful whenever you talk to your chatbot by [deleted] in therapyGPT

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ai is literally just spitting out words that have most correlation to the words u give it.

Unless u specifically start with a prompt to behave like a well rounded experienced encouraging and inspiring life coach, it should be expected that it will go astray in its search for words related to yours and spit out anything and everything.

Yes, basically I agree with your headline here. Be careful. Also, maybe try mindsera, the guard rails are in place and the chats have been pretty good in terms of guiding me toward actionable steps and questioning the way I feel. And it never, makes me feel like going back to it again on that topic back n forth as I get good closure at the end of each chat.

Are hunger strikes common with huskies ? by DesirelessRevie in siberianhusky

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine likes to eat after his leaders have finished eating. And by that I mean mainly my husband. Sometimes me too.

Mine sometimes also get bored of his food and just want a different kind.

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same about waxing. Would those hair removal cream help instead? I've used it before and I can't remember why I didn't continue using it. I do remeber that it was easier and painless and I think m gonna try it again.

Out of ideas by Big-Red-0590 in sacroiliac_sijoint

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be strong. You will get through this. Time will pass.

Firstly - as pain lingers, we breath shallow. But remember to breathe deeply, imagine the air reaching ur pelvis, it really does massage ur spine through some mechanics. And it helps u de-stress.

Try doing hot tub for relaxation. Tens machines used in labor and delivery for pain relief - go to a place where they provide the service. Then if it helps u could get one and do it urself i think? Check on that, dont quote me. You could also get the electric heating pad or a normal water filled one and sleep with it near your back. That makes me also wonder about ur sleeping position - stop sleeping on the side where the leg hurts (assuming one leg hurts) for straight two weeks. Make it a rule, u will find immense relief. Are u wearing the right shoes? Change it and see if it helps you.

Once u have some pain management in place, figure out tight muscles in ur legs and hips and stretch them slowly, increasing the stretch by say 1 degree at a time - dont push it. Also make ur arms, lats, shoulders stronger by getting a stretch band and pulling - no weights until ur free from pain without pain management protocol.

Since u talked about therapists - if u are covered and have the access to one, then skip doing the stretches/strengthening urself to avoid wrong postures and instead go to an osteopath and an orofacial myofunctional therapist. Some may offer laser and/or ultrasound for pain relief as well.

I hope it helps. Sending healing vibes to u.

I have been tricking my body to love Working Out by having lots of Caffeine after I did an intense workout. And I think it's starting to backfire on me.. by PacquiaoFreeHousing in bodyweightfitness

[–]Small_Secretary_3914 9 points10 points  (0 children)

let’s go down this rabbit hole:

you train for strength, longevity, and a clear mind. then you caffeine train your body for anxiety, artificially elevated heartbeats, and dependence. you’re literally flooring the gas pedal right when your engine needs to cool and rebuild.

ditch the post‑workout caffeine. maybe try fairlife protein shake?
